Software Giants Line Up As Mobile Rivals

Breaking into the ultra-competitive online casinos industry isn’t easy. Software giants Playtech and Microgaming produce quality new games with impressive regularity (we’ve reviewed enough on this site to say they’re high-quality, too).

But there might be a new player on the market, with Net Entertainment positioning itself to take on the big boys with a couple of new games for mobile casinos on smartphones like your ipod or Android phone.

Net Entertainment currently offer five games for the mobile casinos – the newest two are Victorious Touch and Flowers Touch. As the names suggest, both are for touch-screen phone formats (though they are available on your PC at online casinos, too), and we have to say both games look great.

That is apparently Net Entertainment’s selling point: their games’ appearance is top quality. And it makes a difference on your smartphone, with that small, high-resolution screen, a good-looking game is simply more appealing to play.

Net Entertainment offers a Online Blackjack Touch that we really liked the look of, but they’re into some serious competition here. Microgaming and Playtech have years of experience providing online casinos with recreations of classic Casino Games and variations on them.

In fact, until the mobile casinos really get up to speed, it looks like the best way for online gamblers to go will be to try the mobile casino version of any online casinos they have membership with – that way it’s possible to make the most of both formats at the same time.

Not that the mobile casinos look like taking their time in getting going. There are already a number of excellent choices out there – like All Slots Casino and Ruby Fortune Casino – and they’re all good enough to make the choice a difficult one.

Even better, it looks like the phone companies are beginning to see the benefits of the mobile casinos, and providing the hardware to match the games. Take a look at our upcoming review of the Huawei Ascend, which is set up to provide you with a peerless mobile gaming experience. It’s not unusual for us to be excited about the newest toys in the online casino world, but we’re not ashamed at all to say we’re very excited about this new crop of mobile Casino Games, and the phones to play them on!
